As the editor said, it is a 'sweet and charming' ms, so take it from there, and we're all rooting for you to help it find the right home.Julie Whelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474747044429106358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-24374315128385243222012-04-17T09:42:13.194-04:002012-04-17T09:42:13.194-04:00Sounds like it will be a hit when you find the rig...Sounds like it will be a hit when you find the right target. :)Linda A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16517546647672781332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-90056550380725099372012-04-17T08:01:30.241-04:002012-04-17T08:01:30.241-04:00Constance, Brianna, Eileen and Linda,

The day or two of bitter frustration and sadness have passed and I'm beginning to work on revisions (again!) <br />Don't think I will submit to the same editor again. Her offer, I think, was just a polite gesture.

My question is, would you be able to revise once again and resubmit to this editor? It sounds like the door is still open to me. I realize I didn't read the entire letter and of course the decision is yours.Linda A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16517546647672781332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-75238974485636858592012-04-16T22:41:22.701-04:002012-04-16T22:41:22.701-04:00Gale

I can relate to what you're going through- so many maybes - and so much waiting for a maybe to turn into a yes. (somebody wave her magic wand already!)I hope you find a way back to making this pb your own and finding a great publisher for it.Constance Lombardonoreply@blogger.com
